    Power More Power!!

    I just need more power. My car is stock except for a flowmaster, i just want more. I was just wanting to here from some LS1 pro's on what are some good ways to start getting some more horsepower with noticable power gains.

    Do the full bolt on's first to get a good base. You should be hitting some good numbers with a lid, headers, ypipe, intake, ported TB. THen move to a new rear end if you want a lot of power down the road. Then get a nice cam and heads and a tune and be done with it. Or go turbo or S/C after but plan your mods accordingly. With FI, you'll need a beefed up bottom end as well. So look into some good shortblocks

    First things first....upgrade from the Flowmaster.
    If you are looking for maximum power from your set-up, Flows aren't the way to go.

    That said...
    Airbox lid, Magnaflow, Pacesetter longtubes (best bang for buck header in my opinion).
    Stay away from an upgraded 85mm MAF. Stocker is more than enough for 500+ HP.
    Subframe connectors are great, but don't add power.
